What's the Republican solutions to those things?
Considering all were outside of government control, there's nothing that they can do. Their goal of taking control of Congress isn't to provide solutions, but to say "no" to any attempts to fix anything. Then point and say "see, government is a failure", while insuring it's so.

Before they can force social media platforms to do this, they'll need to take some steps first.

1. Throw out Citizens United that stated corporations are "people" with the same rights as citizens.
2. Make ISPs common carriers that must follow Net Neutrality, you can't expect platforms to be neutral if our access isn't.
3. Force judges, Congress, and anyone else making decisions about technology, to pass a basic course in understanding it.

Comment 32hrs, plus 8hrs overtime (Score 1) 193

I see everyone commenting about reduced pay and hours. But, they wouldn't prevent people from working more than 32hrs. It would just be overtime after 32hrs, which is 1.5x hourly pay.
So, if you're at $15/hr, your weekly pay goes from $600/week, to $660. This is the more likely scenario. Places aren't just going to stop production after 32hrs, nor are they going to hire people to fill in that time.
